Changelog:

Features

  • Further adjustments to the visibility system introduced in 2.39.0:
    • Optimized functionality of the visibility manager game system.
      • Implemented a console variable on the server to control the update rate of the visibility manager processing. emp_sv_vis_manager_update_interval - This is in seconds and the default value is 0.01 (update per frame if running at 100 tickrate).
      • Various improvements to speed of processing, reducing the processing of detectable components where possible.
  • Remaining vehicle carcass recycle amounts are now shown on the full screen mini-map (default key bind = M).
    • This may be subject to change or be removed but this has been added for testing purposes. It may be disabled by default in a future update, with an option to enable it in the multiplayer options menu.

Bugfixes

  • Speculative fix to prevent spotting diamonds appearing on the HUD where they shouldn’t.
